Eragon Movie Poster

I just saw this movie. I really wanted to see this as soon as I finished the book but I failed to find time before that’s why I only watched it today.

Yeah, I know I have been watching Movies that are adapted from books this past few days… I should have compiled them in one post…. but since I’m doing this now, so be it.

On the first half of the movie, I seriously WOW-ed because it’s fantastic… so surreal… so beautiful. Everything is narrated very clearly and artfully(if there’s such a word). But on the other half, I said “Oh no.” They tweaked details a little bit too much.

Since I have read the book, I can’t help myself but to keep on thinking about the book while watching it. From when Arya came into the scene, everything feels so wrong. Not to mention Eragon’s study session with Brom went missing. And the werecat! I thought he’s an important character. And magic, I want more magic.

If I watched this movie before reading the book, I’ll say it’s wonderful. Beautiful. The fight scenes are breathtaking. The settings, the view… so nostalgic.

Anyways, I can tell you that the story in the book is thousand times more beautiful than in the movie. So if you think the movie is outstanding, you better check out the book and see what I mean.

I’m cutting this here. I’m watching The Da Vinci Code Movie next. Ha ha.

I read the first half of this book for about a week, and finished the other half in one whole day. Cool, eh?… considering my university stuffs.

Anyways, I find this book very interesting. Dragons, Riders, sorcery, elves, dwarves, shades,… what else could a guy wish for? Fight scenes, oh yeah. Urgals, boo. Ancient language, totally COOL.

This post is kinda… uhm… senseless, eh? ‘Cause I don’t want to spill a single bean to anyone who would want to read it.

Ok. Eragon is(or I mean, was) an ordinary farm boy living with his dad(not biologically) and his uncle(not biologically either). Farm boy, y’know, doing boring stuffs every single day, nothing cool, nothing exciting. Until one day, while hunting at Spine(at the foot of mountain ranges), he found a shiny stone, saphire in color with white veinlike stuff… It smells like money for him but nobody wants to buy it since it’s from Spine. Spine does not have a very good reputation FYI. An expert told him that the stone is unbreakeable and hollow inside. Ooh, interesting.

Eragon’s journey is learning everything that he has missed because he has become an important and the most wanted man in Alagaesia.

My story here is, as you see, kind of limited. Why? Because I want you to see it for yourself. You won’t regret it, I promise… unless you have no thing for sorcery and mythical creatures.

So much for this post. I have to continue reading the second book in the Inheritance Cycle. Book 2: Eldest.

Read it, read it… And then thank Christopher Paolini afterwards, ok?

I’m half way reading this novel by Christopher Paolini and I think I like it. I have been reading this thing for about a week, i guess, and I’m still stucked here on the middle. Anyways, my favorite part is when Eragon tries to learn magic. Sometimes, he makes mistakes and stupid decisions, but that’s how life is, right?

The real reason why I made this rant is because I want to share some of my favorite moments.

BEAUTIFUL MOMENT ALERT! At Theirn(a place), Eragon(the boy) should leave Saphira(his Dragon) outside the city because her identity should remain a secret to everyone. Both Eragon and Saphira feels lonely that they have to must separate, though they are not really that far apart. But Eragon still tries to find some time to visit and spend some time with Saphira everyday before the sun sets. It’s amazing to think that the bond between the two has developed into some kind of mutual relationship. They talk about everything, they tell each other what they feel and what they think. They enjoyed their time together flying on the canvas-colored clouds, savoring each minute, never wanting to part. Beautiful.
